Bomb squad called to Princess Mary's palace

A woman has been arrested after allegedly sending a suspicious package to the royal palace where Crown Princess Mary and her family live.

The police were forced to bring in the bomb squad, with parts of Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen were sealed off when a package was sent to the Yellow Palace, next to the royal family's main complex.

Two remote-controlled robots were used to determine the contents of the parcel, with the Armed Forces' Ammunition Clearance Service called in to investigate the package.

At 3 pm local time that day, police confirmed that a 57-year-old woman had been arrested in connection with the scare.

She was taken into custody in Ribe and charged with making threats against the royal family.

The Danish palace has not made any public comments about the incident.
